Star trek was interesting in this, you can see how creators tried for diversity as much as current norms at the time allowed.
In 60s, captain (aka main hero) had to be postercard white american, no way around it. TNG had a caucasian french captain (played by british actor, tells something about what creators thought about audience). DS9 had an african-american captain. Voyager a woman.
